The Barbershop- Oct. 11, 2011

Welcome to this week’s edition of “The Barbershop,” a column designed to give you a forum to speak your mind about our question(s) of the week or any boxing-related issue that you would like to comment on. We welcome and appreciate your participation, so take a minute, scroll down and leave your comment below.

Now on to today’s question:

Well, fans,this Saturday, the 46-year-old Bernard Hopkins defends his light heavyweight title against Chad Dawson, who looked rather lackluster in his last outing against Adrian Diaconu. So does the old man pull it off or does Dawson put a quick end to the champion’s reign?

You pay the bills, fans, so what do YOU think?

Don’t forget to join the fun on Friday nights as I join Randy Gordon and Gerry Cooney on their “Friday Night at the Fights” satellite radio show on Sirius channel 94 and XM channel 208.

We’ll discuss the “Barbershop” question of the week and anything boxing-related that you’d like to share or talk about.

The show runs from 7 PM to 9 PM EST and you can call in and let us know what you think by dialing 1-866-522-2846.
